God's Prophet Has an Internet Spokesman?

What is wrong with that picture?
"Any over-ritualized religion since the dawn of time can make its priests say yes, we know, it is rotten, and hard luck, but just do as we say, keep at the ritual, stick it out, give us your money and you'll end up with the angels in heaven for evermore."

What are you talking about?

Every record...falsified, every book rewritten...every statue...has been renamed or torn down, every date...altered...the process is continuing...minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Ideology is always right.

The whole point of a prophet of God is to be the spokesperson here on earth for God, not pass information along to an anonymous online spokesperson.

It's like hiring Michael Jordan to promote a sneaker at an event and have Spencer Dinwiddle show up.

The God of the universe is so terribly mysterious that he needs to employ a human to be his earthly representative.

The President of the Church is so terribly mystified that he needs to employ a human to be his internet mouthpiece.

So, I guess it is following the pattern.
Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by rulers as useful.

Sorry y'all but NightLion reading omens in rocks and portents from puddles is the only true mouth piece of the lord.
It is better to be a warrior in a garden, than a gardener at war.

Some of us, on the other hand, actually prefer a religion that includes some type of correlation with reality.
